Blackberry 9105 Pearl 3g

Blackberry have unveiled their latest handset

, the 9105 Pearl 3G, a Blackberry but not as we know it. The dimensions of this handset have been reduced without sacrificing any of the features that we expect from such a manufacturer.

Measuring 107 x 49.7 x 13.2mm, the handset is undoubtedly smaller than its predecessors. In perhaps what is an attempt to break into the more mid price range market, this candy bar design weigh in at 93 grammes. The screen on the handset displays a crisp resolution of 360 x 400 pixels, with the option for the user to select their own font size, which is a thoughtful addition. As one would expect from a Blackberry, an optical trackpad is located beneath the screen. This device is very responsive to the user and makes navigation around the screen a breeze. To the left and right of this you will find the standard start call and end call buttons. Perhaps the strangest aspect of this handset is the manufacturers decision not to fit it with the customary QWERTY keypad. There is a standard numeric keypad but for message composition, predictive text is relied upon to save time. This is obviously a decision that was taken in a bid to reduce the overall size of the unit. Other neat additions on the phone are the inclusion of a media button on the top of the phone, allowing instant access to audio files, useful considering that so many handsets are now used as portable audio devices. A customisable button is also included. This comes out of the box preset to activate voice commands but can be assigned to other tasks by the user.

The Blackberry 9105 Pearl 3G includes a 3.2 mega pixel camera facility. Handy for those who want to take a snap whilst on the go, the camera is backed up by autofocus, a flash and a 2.5 x digital zoom. The 9105 Pearl also supports video capture. In terms of memory, the handset comes with an internal memory of 256MB. Straight away it is obvious that this is not enough unless you are using the handset solely as a phone, thus a microSD slot is included, meaning this can be upped to a massive 32GB, plenty of space for the storage of audio files and other media. Speaking of audio files, various formats are supported on the handset including MP, AAC+ and eAAC+. The in built media player allows you to view and listen to these files easily. A 3.5mm stereo headphone jack allows the user to choose their own headphones to listen to music, and thanks to bluetooth support, this can be done wirelessly with compatible headsets.

This is an interesting handset from Blackberry. The lack of QWERTY keypad shows that the phone is pitched at a more mainstream, non smartphone user, however the impressive range of feature and user friendly touches make it a very attractive proposition.
